hurricane prep
Pre-cyclone planning efforts
Hurricane prep is the supplies, planning, and protective measures people undertake before a hurricane arrives.
This includes stocking water, batteries, and non-perishable food; boarding up windows; and planning evacuation routes.
The phrase appears constantly in coastal regions during hurricane season: We spent the weekend on hurricane prep.
